i followed a “install any linux distro in 5 minutes” guide and after just 14 hours i finally have an OS that is running properly
as a long time hater i must say its very nice and i like it a lot, especially considering microsoft is hellbent on making windows the worst OS as quickly as possible. i will say, im a big nerd and this stuff comes to me pretty easily but i still think hoping normies will adopt this is kinda insane
anywho, its the year of linux or so i keep hearing
also if anyone knows why my keyboard keeps disconnecting every 30 minutes or so, i would very much like to know why. its an anne pro 2 that i am using with a wired connection
Thanks for your experience, yeah I think I just need to lock in for a few hours and figure my stuff out.
Yeah if you haven’t tried it already just try switching proton versions by right clicking on a game and ticking the box that says something like “force different version” or something like that. Of the 3 games I’ve tried each one required a different version from a list of like 15 or so but I just picked based on the website and it’s worked every time
I should say that I had it working at some point, just with framerate issues. Then I reinstalled the OS completely and wasn’t able to get it back up again. I didn’t reformat my old HDD when I swapped over and some threads I was investigating was saying that trying to install games to NTFS will screw up permissions.
I’m not going to troubleshoot this today so I would hate for you to take time to try to sort this for me now, but I think your tips well help me get that “last mile” once I have things near where they should be.
NTFS file system will bork any game you’re trying to run with proton. There are work arounds but it’s better to format the drive and use Ext4 or btrfs
Yea I have an SSD that I reformatted and then I just use the old HDD I already had w/o changing. I think the reason I was able to get it working initially was because I put everything on the SSD and then it flopped because I was trying to install games to the HDD to save space. I think my next step is to uninstall everything and reinstall to my main drive, then evveeeeeentually I’ll have to reformat the HDD if storage becomes and issue. Thanks for confirming that problem though, I would 100% reformat before trying to untangle the knot of trying to implement workaround
